Pandan leaf is a fragrant & popular ingredient used in flavouring of Thai desserts. It is also a very famous summer drink and has many medicinal values.
The weather here in Thailand is extremely warm and it is only the beginning of our very warm days! I drink lots of water, I do…but even water at such times isn’t enough to quench thirst nor cool the body temperature and hence nature provides!!! Nature provides us with natural ingredients such as the panda plant to help cool our systems, lower fever and many more symptoms like high blood pressure, dandruff etc.
